I got a call yesterday morning...the creep threatened to shut down my pc, I was furious because we are getting these calls several times a week. I went off on him, well after that we got two more calls one I hung up on and another was a woman (Indian also) and I went off on her. I guess I have really TICKED them off because they have already called this morning at 8:35 am, I can see this is going to be a great day, NOT. Do they really think that if they call enough they will wear me down and I will let them into my pc, MORONS. There should be a way to stop this. Being on the DNC list has absolutely no effect on them.
Received call from 206-424-8912 from Seattle WA 5 hours ago from a man with a heavy Indian/Pakastanian accent claiming that my computer had been taken over by hackers and infected very bad and that he was a Microsoft Technician.He knew my name and that I had Comcast.He wanted me to turn on my computer to fix the problem.I told him I ran a full Antivirus scan last night along with MalwareBytes,SuperAntiSpyware and SpybotSearch&Destroy,was using ZoneAlarm Firewall and SpyShelter to block Keyloggers and that my computer was clean.He told me my computer would Lock up if they didn't fix it and for me to turn it on and they would fix the problem.I ask if it would cost to fix it and he said yes.I said I would call back in and hour.He told me to call back at 206-424-8913 and ask for Shane Watson.Also mentioned something about Pegasus when I ask who they were.Told him why would Windows be calling me because I am still on Win XP which is no longer supported by Microsoft but will be updating later to Win 7 ...I called Comcast Security and they told me not to call back and took all of my info.I thought I would Google this number and found your replies.THANKS
Got the same call as Mike.
He kept asking if who was the main user and got mad and raise his voice when I told him it was a family computer.
I told him not to raise his voice at me and hung up.
Never got a chance to ask him to many question, since my guard went up as soon as he told me that he was from MS and was a Tech.
First red flag came when he only knew the initial of my first name.
Second flag came when I remember that the computer came from my neighbor and my name should not be attach!
